mono-stereo oh? So you don’t like the raw flith of Morning Lemon?

jonattonyeah

Boss tune.

zackster

Chems are the band for Gen Xers who would say things like “I also like to listen to a bit of electronica. Have you heard any? Its quite good!”

Smallman1

The tune I put on when the lovelies arrive at the afters -

And for our American cousins, I am what’s known as extracting the Michael.

Smallman1

Fucking lol!

The Chems were indeed a despicable ‘cross over’ act for spengs at uni who also rated Fatboy Slim and that atrocious Big Beat carry on. Meanwhile the cool kids like me were listening to Dubnobasswithyourheadman and Northern Exposure apres/during my daily cry wank.

jonattonyeah

Millsy

Eh, if the Chems served as a gateway for people to dive deeper into dance music I say fair enough. We all have to start somewhere.

Hello and thank you for this wonderful discussion. There are some very interesting opinions being shared. I am surprised that no one has mentioned Dj Sasha and John Digweed yet. Maybe they are a bit underground for many of you, but I really think they deserve to be in the conversation. I really enjoy listening to their hit song Pushing Too Hard while unwinding after a long day at the office.

With that being said, I would like to take this time to announce that I am rescinding my offer to purchase jaded-clubbers.com. After repeated inquests, I have still not been satisfied with an explanation as to why a Matt Smith currently controls 37 different account names. As such, my legal team has contacted the board, and informed them of our intent to withdraw. Any attempt to withhold our initial good faith deposit will be met in court.

Thank you again for all of your candor and I look forward to speaking with you all soon!

Oh great, a ‘hilarious’ alias.

zackster

I would have no issue with them, if they weren’t so over hyped.

jonattonyeah

zackster

Well that’s not exactly their fault. They seem like two dudes who like making music and putting on a fun visual show. They’re not releasing tracks ending racism or putting out dubstep ripoffs. They never feature in music videos, preferring to give directors a shot to make something interesting. They attempt collaborations that don’t always make sense (and don’t always work). They’ve been at it for like 30 years. I just don’t get the hate.

Smallman1

If you haven’t seen The Chems live, YOU HAVEN’T LIVED.

zackster

I have seen them live. It was beyond wank. Fucked off to see Speedy J demolish the techno tent after 15 minutes of Tom n Ed doing low pass filter sweeps and standing a still as statues.

Heno

zackster speedy j is the bollox seen him twice both excellent

zackster The hierarchy of live British dance act duos, from the golden age, is as follows:
Underworld
The Orb
FSOL
Orbital
The Prodigy

Basement Jaxx
The Chemical Bros.

Without wishing to get too bogged down with the contents of your list, The Prodigy have to be no.1 (regardless of what happened after FotL).

Also, do you know what “duo” means?!

Old-Dutch

Saw the Chems do a dj set in the Courtyard for Cream. Played the David Holmes mix of Sabres of Paradise - scones

Smallman1

Full disclosure, I prefer the Chems in Dj mode.

zackster

If we are going to get into the weeds, Autechre should be at the top of the list with the various Middleton/Prichard guises.

Dan

zackster If we’re going to get deeper the future sound of London were doing it well before every other man and his dog.

Millsy

Yeah, seen the Chems live. They were alright but it was spoiled by being surrounded by aforementioned spengs.

Smallman1

Seems like a lot on here just don’t ever want to have fun.

Live a little lads!
